Getting started Adding Access Points to your (network) environment
An Access Point is like a hub. They are mounted at assigned places,
each covering its own area in which wireless nodes can operate.
The Access Points can be connected to a wired network to communicate
with each other and with servers and clients on that network.
The 11 Mbps WLAN Access Point can be connected to a 10 or 100
Mbps Ethernet network through an RJ45 (UTP) connector.
See chapter 5: ‘Technical specifications 11 Mbps WLAN Access
Point’ on page 41.
1.4 Adding Access Points to your (network) environment
Where to place and how to connect an Access Point depends entirely on
your specific (network) environment. In this section some guidelines on
how to add Access Points to your environment are given.
An Access Point can be used to
• create a wireless network (see section 1.4.1),
• extend an existing wired network (see section 1.4.2),
• connect to a single computer (see section 1.4.3).
1.4.1 Creating a wireless network
You can use an Access Point to set up a wireless network, see
Figure 1-2.
